  • THE JOHN BYRNE BAND the John Byrne Band Is Led by Dublin Native and Philadelphia-Based John Byrne
    THE JOHN BYRNE BAND The John Byrne Band is led by Dublin native and Philadelphia-based John Byrne. Their debut album, After the Wake, was released to critical acclaim on both sides of the Atlantic in 2011. With influences ranging from Tom Waits to Planxty, John’s songwriting honors and expands upon the musical and lyrical traditions of his native and adopted homes. John and the band followed up After the Wake in early 2013 with an album of Celtic and American traditional tunes. The album, Celtic/Folk, pushed the band on to the FolkDJ Charts, reaching number 36 in May 2015. Their third release, another collection of John Byrne originals, entitled “The Immigrant and the Orphan”, was released in Sept 2015. The album, once again, draws heavily on John’s love of Americana and Celtic Folk music and with the support of DJs around the country entered the FolkDJ Charts at number 40. Critics have called it “..a powerful, deeply moving work that will stay with you long after you have heard it” (Michael Tearson-Sing Out); “The Vibe of it (The Immigrant and the Orphan) is, at once, as rough as rock and as elegant as a calm ocean..each song on this album carries an honesty, integrity and quiet passion that will draw you into its world for years to come” (Terry Roland – No Depression); “If any element of Celtic, Americana or Indie-Folk is your thing, then this album is an absolute yes” (Beehive Candy); “It’s a gorgeous, nostalgic record filled with themes of loss, hope, history and lost loves; everything that tugs at your soul and spills your blood and guts…The Immigrant and the Orphan scorches the earth and emerges tough as nails” (Jane Roser – That Music Mag) The album was released to a sold-out crowd at the storied World Café Live in Philadelphia and 2 weeks later to a sold-out crowd at the Mercantile in Dublin, Ireland.

  • Grammy-Nominated Group “The Greencards” to Play at Vina Robles Winery on May 16
    For Immediate Release Contact: Marc Laderriere April 22, 2010 (805) 227-4812 [email protected] Grammy-Nominated Group “The Greencards” to Play at Vina Robles Winery on May 16 Nashville-Based Quartet Inaugurates 2010 Vina Robles Concert Series Paso Robles, CA—The annual Vina Robles Concert Series begins with a bang on Sunday, May 16 as the winery hosts The Greencards, a Grammy-nominated “newgrass” group from Nashville, Tennessee. The concert will be held from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. in the Signature Room at the Vina Robles Hospitality Center in Paso Robles. The cost is $20 ($16 for Signature Wine Club members). Wine will be available for purchase and enjoyment during the concert. The Greencards play their own brand of American roots music, melding bluegrass with newer influences to create a wholly unique “underground folk” sound that has earned critical acclaim. “We are very excited about bringing a group of this caliber to the Paso Robles wine country, and to such an intimate setting,” said Marc Laderriere, Vina Robles’ director of sales and marketing. “This will be a memorable experience for anyone who appreciates remarkable live music.” The Greencards were founded in Austin, Texas by British singer and bassist Carol Young and Australian string instrumentalist Kym Warner, who later moved the group to Nashville. The song The Crystal Merchant from “Fascination,” the group’s recent Sugar Hill Records debut recording, was nominated for Best Country Instrumental Performance at the 2010 Grammy Awards. Laderriere credits Vina Robles Winery’s concert promoter Steve See of Cambria-based Hoot Roadshow Concert Productions for working with the William Morris Endeavor Entertainment agency to securing The Greencards.
